The battle over the caucuses between the Iikanid's led by Hulagu and the Jochids led by Berke is a fascinating period of time. We really get to see the break away of the Jochids, led by Berke, from the great khan, and their attempt to lock themselves in as independent rulers of not just the Qipchaq steppe, but also the Caucasus and the Aral Sea/northern Iran.

Always like these! Anyone else notice that since Joe moved he as a permanent NPR voice? Nothing wrong with it, maybe he got a better mic.
